Wednesday night fan running group

Author: kmchitty

I’m late. I’m late for a very important date. Sorry for the tardiness of the post. I’ll do better next time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDO5ea8MwgY

It’s hot. It’s July. Who would have thought. Someone Should have warned us. I swear I wrote this last year. I did. I copied and pasted.

This week Novices do 5, Intermediates do 6, and of course we have a 3. We are still looking for some volunteers to provide/man SAGs as we get into the hottest days and longer mileage this summer. Please see a coordinator if you’d like to help out.

Good news!! Lucky Foot/Lucky Road is providing our SAG this week. Thank you Lucky Road! Bad news: we have to get to Lucky Foot/Lucky Road and the sun will set as we leave the church. Please wear reflective gear and a light. We will cross Monument twice after dark – not to mention Grove, Patterson, etc. Please wear reflective gear and a light. Also it’s a good idea to double check the route.

TWN Routes for 9/7/16Don’t be fooled by the calendar, it looks like warmer temperatures are returning. Please carry some water and pace yourself. Good news is that we have a SAG at the midway point, the bad news is geographically the SAG is close to the start. Have fun. Here are the 9, 7, and 3 mile routes:

It’s hot. It’s July. Who would have thought. Someone Should have warned us. On the brightside, Mid 80’s should seem like a welcome respite at this point.

Some news to share! First Baptist Church has officially given us permission to start using their water spigot, although it is a different one than we have used in the past. So enjoy some water, guilt-free. The spigot is located on the Boulevard side of the church, about halfway down. If you’d like to donate to the church to cover the cost, you can give online at https://e-giving.org/egivinglogin.asp?id=1375

This week Novices bump up to 5, Intermedidiate sticks with 6, and of course we have a 3. We are still looking for some volunteers to provide/man SAGs as we get into the hottest days and longer mileage this summer. Please see a coordinator if you’d like to help out.

Happy Veterans Day!! Happy taper!! We have only one route of 4 miles through the Fan towards VCU. We will circle the central Campus and Monroe Park. Remember it will be dark, so bring your headlamps and reflective gear. Please make sure to have your own water (if needed) and route as there may not be extras at the start. Good luck to everyone this weekend!

The weather forecast says temperature should ease a little bit on Wednesday. Let’s hope that 90 feels like a break after the early part of this week. However, it is still quite warm please remember to bring water. We will pass Retreat Hospital at the beginning of the route, but there is little afterwards. We come within 2 blocks of the Grove Avenue Water Stop when we turn N on Bunting. We will also pass a school as we return on Augusta, but I do not know if they have working water fountains.

Please see Susanne before the run if you would be willing to help out with a water stop, which should begin on 7/29.
